Broiling Guide - GEAppliances Adora JGBP87SEMSS User Manual

Using the oven.
If your model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch during broiling. The latch is used for
self-cleaning only.
Close the door. Always broil with
the door closed.
The size, weight, thickness,
starting temperature and your
preference of doneness will affect
broiling times. This guide is based
on meats at refrigerator
temperature.
†The U.S. Department of Agriculture
says "Rare beef is popular, but you
should know that cooking it to only
140°F means some food poisoning
organisms may survive." (Source: Safe
Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA
Rev. June 1985.)
